I will have to find some....it's my daily driver...it's been lowered and program'd with 20's....and frankly it's my favorite thing to drive. It's hard not to like things that work ad you don't have to wrench on it all the time. Thats why I got a dually.....keep the avalache nice and clean.

Thanks, I've been looking at Av's for a while, cool features. My old DD is getting long in the tooth, I thought 4x4 but the lowered 2wd look very sweet. Looking forward to the'58...well all your builds. Looks like a lot of fun, a good tired.

Well update for the 58.....
Bought a LS2 out of a trailblazer.....395 HP...and it has 17,000km on it so it's like band new. That should be sitting on the shop floor tomorow with the rest of the stuff I need to swap it out. The trailblazer is a AWD so I got the rest of the to complete the swap....not sure about the pan just yet. Did mention it sure does have alot of wires......lol

Well making some progress on the 58....
I am really happy with the way it's going together.....it should be pretty sweet when it's done...I hope to switch out the LS2 pan tomorrow and get it ready to drop in .

It's amazing how fast things go when you take out the body shop part.....The paints not mint but it will be good enough to be a driver ...

Dieselwrencher 05-29-2012 05:14 PM

Re: 1966 SBBW pro street
 
That is going to be a sweet truck in no time at all!

Very nice, great progress...you'll be driving soon...at least there's rain so shop work is perfectly timed.
I may have missed the parts list, LS2 from a Trailblazer, what are the front and rear assemblies and any aftermarket kits? Looks like Vette rear, custom install?? Thanks gonna be a fun summer!!
